Aristotle's Moral Thoughts Are Easier Accessible Than Plato's Ethics

People seem to think that aristotle's ethics is easier accessible than plato's ethics, although aristotle's moral thinking is adapted to plato in many ways. But the might be that the nicomachine ethics are more easily isolated from aristotle's metaphysics and metaphysical background than in the platonic context. And it's easier to understand the case of the acratic person without relying on any particular metaphysics. Whereas in a plato's republic you run into very serious metaphysicale considerations and problems.
